Anambra State government has commenced the construction of over 1,200 open shops in Awka Capital Territory as an alternative to the demolished shanty and roadside shops in the area.
This is coming as there has been sustained public outcry over the demolition of roadside shops in the area which is causing untold hardship to the traders.
According to the Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Agency (ACDA), Ossy Onuko, the open shops are already being constructed along Club Road, popularly known as Abakaliki Street, adding that more shops going to be constructed at designated junctions within the Capital City.
Onuko noted that the traders are not going to pay for the shops but a token for the cleaning and maintenance of the shops and their environment.
